Answer : The correct option is, (C) Place the coefficient 2 in front of elemental iron.

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

$3CO(g)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)$

This chemical reaction is an unbalanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of iron are not balanced while all the atoms are balanced.

In order to balanced the chemical reaction, the coefficient 2 is put before the 'Fe'.

Thus, the balanced chemical reaction will be,

$3CO(g)+Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)$

If the compound contains 35.06 % cl by mass, what is the identity of the metal?

Setler [38]

Answer is: identity of the metal is gold (Au).

ω(Cl) = 35.06% ÷ 100%.

ω(Cl) = 0.3506; mass percentage of chlorine.

If we take 100 grams of the compound:

m(Cl) = ω(Cl) · m(compound).

ω(Cl) = 0.3506 · 100 g.

ω(Cl) = 35.06 g.

n(Cl) = m(Cl) ÷ M(Cl).

n(Cl) = 35.06 g ÷ 35.45 g/mol.

n(Cl) = 0.99 mol; amount of substance.

In molecule MCl₃: n(M) : n(Cl) = 1 : 3.

n(M) = 0.33 mol; amount of unknown metal.

M(M) = m(M) ÷ n(M).

M(M) = (100 g - 35.06 g) ÷ 0.33 mol.

M(M) = 196.8 g/mol; molar mass of the gold.

Calculate the number of molecules in a deep breath of air whose volume is 2.15 L at body temperature, 37 ∘C, and a pressure of 7

Zinaida [17]

PV = nRT
R = 0.0821 L * atm / mol * K
(ideal gas constant)

First, convert 735 torr to atm. Divide by 760.
(1 atm = 760 torr)

735 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 0.967 atm
Then, convert 37 C to Kelvin. Just add 273.
37 C = 310K

n = PV / RT
= (0.967)(2.07) / (0.0821)(310)
= 0.0786 mol

<span>0.0786 mol * 6.02 * 10^23 molecules / 1 mol = 4.73 * 10^22 molecules </span>
